February 5, 2025,Start in die Wander- und Pilgersaison 2025; Wanderung 1/2025; Vom Ammersee zum Kloster Andechs und zurück

At the moment I am visiting family in Munich again. After two uncomfortable, cold, foggy days, great sunny weather and mild temperatures were finally forecast for today. So I was finally able to implement my plan of walking from Ammersee to Andechs Monastery, instead of visiting it with an orthosis and the bus like last year due to an injury. …

May 21, 2023,21.05.2023 Andechs 👫👣☀️👶💤

After an eternity we finally went back to Andechs today.
What can I say, what felt like millions of people had the idea.
Well, given the wonderful weather ☀️ no wonder, but we avoided the monastery itself. The crowds on the paths were enough for us.
Always nice the round and the 👶 had a lot of fun on the …

Part 2 of 3:
I picked up my father from the train station in Herrsching and took a nice hike with him to the monastery. The journey there via the Hörndweg was very demanding for him at 86. But hey, hey, he did it all. There were far too many people at the monastery, so after a quick snack we …

At the end of the day we went to Andechs again.
Wonderful in this weather and pleasant at a later hour, as you hardly ever come across anyone.
Always a nice round. 🌄

October 18, 2025,Kienbach – Herrsching Anlegesteg Runde von Andechs

Wonderful hike:
From the monastery, downhill through the Kiental valley on forest paths, then "be careful," a small, narrow path with steps, uphill to the left past PRINZENHÖHE houses and properties.
The path is adventurous, sometimes difficult to see, over roots.
Then, a wonderful view of Lake Ammersee.
For mountain bikers – on this route, it's better to start here …

February 28, 2022,Wanderung Herrsching-Andechs-Ammersee

We parked for a fee at the Herrsching S-Bahn station and took the less steep path over the Kiental to the monastery. Unfortunately everything was closed when we got there. We went back via the Hörndl to the Ammersee. There we got something to eat and drink on the lake promenade.

May 3, 2023,von Herrsching zum Kloster Andechs

Short hike on a beautiful forest and meadow path from Herrsching to Andechs Monastery with a stop at the monastery inn.
First from the train station along the promenade of the Ammersee, then briefly through the village to the hiking trail.

September 21, 2024,🥾🥾 Kloster Andechs 🥰🍻🍖🍺

In fantastic weather we head up to Andechs Monastery 🥰 with the same name 🍺 😋.
We even managed to climb the tower this year 😅. If you're claustrophobic or don't like steep ladders, you'd better stay down below 🤭🤣.
It was another beautiful day 🥰.
